I do find it really annoying they have no objective measures in this test. I would guess our Ms win the skidpad, slalom, braking, and if launched correctly, tie or come close to others in the 1/4 mi.

Where are the cliff notes? >MT EST.< for performance does not cut it. As for the ride, itS not much firmer than my former M40i on 766 21s.
I hope BMW does not go soft on the X3M for future iterations. I am told as part of new/updated training curricula, client advisors are being instructed to thoroughly vet sales prospects considering ///M cars to help those in search of the vaunted///M badge avoid making the wrong decision. Many of whom will be better served with an MSport or MPerformance model.
